It has been no hassle at all for me, but I've heard of people having to provide a scan of their government issued ID for identity verification with Aliexpress. Perhaps after a denied transaction they require this ... I don't remember the details.
Some people recommend calling the card provider to let them know about an upcoming purchase but that always seemed like a long shot to me.

I was looking on ali the other day, I have never bought from them but the cam I was looking at was offered on New Egg for about $15 more and the same shipping time. Seems New Egg has quite a few Dahua Cameras fairly cheap. I was looking at a IPC-HFW4431R-Z to replace my garage bullet that keeps on cutting out on me.Amazon had it for $125 shipped in 2 days in stock. Being i wanted it now I bought from Amazon and will have it tomorrow. I would rather pay the extra $15 dollars and buy from New Egg. If it is doa or I do not like it, at least I have a better chance of getting my money back than trying to fight with a Asian seller. The specs look pretty good, I have installed a bunch of 3mp with motorized lenses like this and they have been rock solid.
All my Ali payments go to a process center in the U.S. (Dover, Delaware), so it's not an international payment charged to my card. Only had an issue one time and that was when I ordered multiple items, each over $50, in the same day. After several successful orders, the card suddenly got denied for the next order. Turns out, the bank just put a freeze on my card because it triggered their fraud detection system. Called the bank, explained the situation, within 5 minutes the card was unfrozen and ready for more orders.
If I ever get a block from Ali and request for personal info, I would probably just create a new account and/or use a different card. I had to do this with Paypal a few years ago when they suddenly froze my account and requested picture ID, etc...Just registered a new account and it's worked fine for years.
